A Celtic cross is a symbol that combines a cross with a ring surrounding the intersection. The early Celtic stone high cross is generally in the form of a normal cross with a ring joining the arms for structural strength, often with an extended rectangular or cubic base that is mounted on the ground. Early groups have broad undecorated front faces with many animal scenes in relief, and simple interlace patterns. Later groups may have narrative scenes upon them. With the Celtic Revival the shape, usually decorated with interlace and other motifs from Insular art, became popular for funerary monuments and other uses, and has remained so, spreading well beyond the British Isles.

The Celtic Cross - a form of the cross, for centuries known pre-Christian religious believers, which four-cross is placed in a circle, symbolizing the Celtic wreaths. Today (in spite of his pre-Christian origin) Celtic cross is a form of cross acceptable by the Catholic Church as a religious symbol of Christians. Above all, however, it has become characteristic of Celtic Christianity.
